I didn't know you were doing substack until today when Angela shared the link. Looks like I am months and months behind the times. This adds context to the conversation we had in New York about writing and substacks. Great post. Can't believe you held out on sharing the New Year's resolution with us?!?
Happy New Year Benn! Thanks for this detailed process, no excuses for not writing any more :-) Do you sometimes prefer to get your final piece read over by someone, or do you always go by your own judgement?
At this point, it's just me. Do I prefer that? The right answer is no, having people give feedback definitely makes things much better. But, the honest answer is feedback means you've got to do more work, and you sometimes get told that something you like isn't actually good. Which is no fun, and is easy to want to avoid.

Happy New Year Benn!
